Secular dogma

In case you still can’t figure out how purely secular dogma can be every bit as repressive and bizarre as religious dogma, here’s what the good Chinese atheists are up to now: Offending content included “wronged spirits and violent ghosts, monsters, demons, and other inhuman portrayals, strange and supernatural storytelling for the sole purpose of […]

This is Vox Day

Yesterday, David Frum asked “Who is Vox Day?” The answer is: “The guy who is going to metaphorically kick your impolitic and economically ignorant ass, my dear sir.” It’s nothing personal, of course, that’s just how we roll. Frum has no economics training and it shows, as his charge that Ron Paul is “too lazy […]

Can’t keep a good book down

In China it is known as the “sacred doctrine” and it has become one of the country’s bestselling books. Yet it has nothing to do with the thoughts of Chairman Mao and its teachings have been in conflict with the forces of Communism for generations. Demand for the Bible is soaring in China, at a […]

The Tawana Principle

If a member of a self-declared minority reports a “hate crime” that is enthusiastically covered by the mainstream media, it is a hoax perpetrated by a member of that minority, usually the “victim” who reported it: A firefighter who reported finding a knotted rope and a threatening note with a drawing of a noose in […]

Deport them all

The elite are never going to convince Americans that transforming themselves into North Mexicans is desirable. The more non-Americans that are forced on the citizenry, the more likely it is that extreme measures will eventually be adopted. History suggests that the choices are to either a) deport them now, or, b) do very bad things […]

Scrub, scrub, Lady MacAtheist

The defensiveness of atheists about the most obvious, easily verifiable historical facts is really quite striking. Consider Ed Darrell’s absurdly ignorant statement here: Then please show us where Lenin ever said anything about Darwin. It’s more likely Lenin was simply following the example of the Spanish Inquisition, having learned from Christian history the value of […]

Newsflash: democracy doesn’t work

Of course, instead of admitting the whole thing was a ridiculously hopeless concept from the start, they’ll simply refocus on new objectives: Nightmarish political realities in Baghdad are prompting American officials to curb their vision for democracy in Iraq. Instead, the officials now say they are willing to settle for a government that functions and […]

A new trend is spotted

Chiefs TE Tony Gonzalez commits without putting his financial future at risk: Tony Gonzalez is officially off the market. Well, sort of officially. Tony G isn’t getting married, but he is planning a “formal commitment ceremony” on July 20 in Huntington Beach, Calif., where he’ll pledge his love to girlfriend October Russell. A formal commitment […]

David Halberstam: media scum

I quite enjoyed his sports writing, I had no idea he was apparently such an dishonest piece of journalistic refuse: The leading American journalists in Vietnam during 1963, they favored American involvement in Vietnam, in stark contrast to the press corps of the war’s latter years. But they had a low opinion of South Vietnamese […]

Anti-migration is the winning stance

In case you’re too thick to have grasped this yet: Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta, who gained national prominence by targeting illegal immigrants living in his small northeastern Pennsylvania city, cruised to the Republican nomination for a third term on Tuesday – and unexpectedly won the Democratic nomination, too. Barletta trounced GOP challenger Dee Deakos with […]
